Get Compassionate Support with Clean Supplies & Safer Choices
As part of our commitment to minimising harm, preventing infections, and promoting community health, Imaan Healthcare offers a needle and syringe exchange service.
This discreet and non-judgmental service is available across many of our pharmacies for individuals who inject drugs and require clean injecting equipment.
If you’re looking for a needle and syringe exchange near you, our branches offer safe and convenient access to sterile supplies, no appointment necessary.
A needle exchange program (NEP) is when injection drug users (IDUs) can receive clean, unused hypodermic needles and related supplies for little to no cost through a needle and syringe program (NSP).
It is founded on the harm reduction philosophy, which aims to lower the risk factors for blood-borne illnesses like hepatitis and HIV/AIDS.
By providing sterile syringes and needles to drug injectors, this public health project seeks to stop the spread of diseases like HIV and hepatitis. Used equipment is disposed of and returned safely.
Under the Needle and Syringe Exchange Services UK initiative, these needle and syringe exchange programs are extensively used throughout the United Kingdom.
We understand that many people using these services are managing chronic or sensitive conditions.
That’s why we focus on dignity, privacy, and personalised care in every interaction.
Anyone who uses injectable drugs, whether opioids, steroids, or other substances, can use the needle and syringe exchange service. We also support:
There is no need to provide personal details. Just walk in and speak to our trained pharmacy staff.
We handle all interactions with dignity, privacy, and professionalism.
